For years we've had a problem: Black politicians who claim to represent us but undermine our interests. Today, we're taking a step towards fixing it.

Congressman Al Wynn from Maryland's 4th district is a perfect example of the lack of accountability that's hurting our community. He has consistently voted against the interests of his Black constituents, siding with the big business and other special interests that foot the bill for his campaigns.

His opponent in the primary, Donna Edwards, is exactly what we need in Washington. She has an excellent record of activism and has been a powerful advocate for policies that will help the Black community, especially low-income Black folks.

If elections were won on candidates' records, Edwards would destroy Wynn, but Wynn has the Democratic establishment and business interests on his side. For Edwards and other candidates like her to win, everyday people have to stand up and give their direct support.
